which the "Southern Industry" says
will be the largest gathering of rep

they would be sure to look with

"Southern Iiidustryt" is peased to
note the generdi interest that is beinig
manifested in the conveiilit ion to be
held in Philadellhia June 4-7, prox
imo. From alminot every quarter of
the South words of strong, cotieneu
dation have been received, and the
verdict is that this will he tile )Southli's
I opportunity to he hear t before those
who it is desirable to illterest'in thi,
development of this sectioin.
IThere can lie no question as to
the value of this opp,,rtunity to ad
vance the material welfare of the
South, but like all other oilTortuini
ties, it must be embraced, else its
blenefits will. prove elusive. If
there should assetmble on this otc.a

as attended the New Orleans colln

comment throughout the entire civil

Last Tuesday's Vicksburg Herald
gives the following news item about
the New Orleans, Natchez & Arkansa:
survey :
Mr. William C. Fenton, of Green
ville, who was formerly assistaut en
gineer under Capt. Townsend, of the
third Mississippi levee district, was in
the city last night, a guest of the Car
roll. Mr. Fenton is to be in charge of
the survey party which will start out
Thursday on the survey of the project
ed New Orleans. Natchez & Arkansas
railrway. Mr. Fenton was seen at his
hotel last night, and in the course of a
plle:asnt chat stated that until a start
is made it will be impossible to outline
the route which he will follow in carry.
int on the survey, lie will run two
lines of survey. starting from the line
of the Vicksburg. Shreveport & Pacific
and running north to lake Providence,
this being the first part of the general
plan.
As stated, the party will start out
probablt tomorrow. and as Mr. Fenton
states. will lose no tone in runninu the
I wo lines of ,urvey to the metropolis
of East Carroll parish. Associatedt
with Mr. Fenton will be Mr. John IR.
Mills. a rising y outg engineer of Cedar
R pllids, Iowa,- and Mr. R.. E. Dutine, of
thei same city. besides a full corps of
assistants. "The party will compose
SOIIme ten or twelve men altogether,
and as Mr. Fenton states, they go out
to push their work through with all
possible expedition consistent with
throughunes.
We are reliably informed that the
Gould's have let the contract for the
erection of the bridge to cross Red
river and that a survey party will
soon be started out. Don't give
rights of way to any "paper road."
The Gould's are going to -build this
road, and when it is started there
will be no delay in its construction.

It is strange that the following from
the St. 'Lytuis Chroniolh .lhould ex
press a doubt aind at the same time
he sO ftll of trust: "When the
brand new cereal trust anti the al
most new oatmeal trust meet the
umeat triust. anid the flour trutt and the
spice trust hnumps up against the
coffee and the slgar trust, % hat will
the salt trust say from the end of the
table? Will the baking powder trust
antd tin trust keep silent at the meal
trust while the cutlery trust and the
furniture trust engage the conversa
tion of the carpet trust and linen
trust? And the coal trust over the
stove holding quiet conference with
the iron trust and the zinc trust,
with' the wall paper trnst looking on
inquiringly, how will they view the
intrusion? They even frowned at
te steel trust. Let us trust that the
hired girl trust out in the kitchen is
not getting the chilly end of the ar
gutient with the ice trust which may
he heard speaking in chesty tones.
'The mnatrimony trust has very little
show in the face of the combination
of other trusts now .arrayed against
it"
